Colorado Rockies prospects: No. 22, Dom Nuñez
Share this story
22. Dom Nuñez (94 points, 10 ballots)
In 2020, the Rockies rolled with a catching unit of Tony Wolters, Elias Díaz, and Drew Butera. Combined, the three players hit .217/.266/.285 in 225 PAs, which led to a truly terrible, 29th in MLB 35 wRC+ and -1.2 fWAR (dead last). Notably absent from that Cobra Cabal of Catchers was Dom Nuñez, who has now been on 14 of the last 15 PuRPs lists (and was #31 in the other one) since 2013 because he’s been one of Colorado’s top two catching prospects basically since 2013 along with Tom Murphy.
